Slowly heading towards Tonga. Very comfortable conditions but slow considering deep downwind. Passed several humpback whales. We are assuming they are going to Tonga too so we think we are going the right way. Two small tuna caught but returned to the sea.

[status] Gentle clear night with beautiful stars. We have had to turn back to NZ due to rudder linkage trouble. ETA 36-48 hours Marsden Cove Marina or Opua depending on situation at the time.
Kenn Batt, could you please advise about return weather. We plan to motor at 5 knts or sail the rhum line with very reduced sail plan.

[status] Thursday ....... still in Tahiti, well Papeete Marina to be precise, so right in the centre of town!

We moved from outside Taina Marina down to here via both ends of the runway ...... we had to get clearance to pass through on Tuesday morning, safely down in Papeete Marina, we then set about various tasks, not the least being filling up with water so we could get some washing done .....but more about that later!
